Indonesia Etc, Exploring the Improbable Nation

Rp200.000

 

By Elizabeth Pisani 

Elizabeth Pisani describes Indonesia as a giant Bad Boyfriend, charming and maddening in equal parts. She has been in thrall to the country since first working in Indonesia over two decades ago. Pisani spent over a year travelling 21,000 kilometres by motorbike, bus and boat, and covering another 20,000 kilometres by plane. She stayed with fishermen and farmers, bus drivers and nurses, teachers and nomads. Out of a palette that includes a sound knowledge of history, years of close observation and a healthy sense of the absurd, she paints a clear-eyed but ultimately affectionate portrait of the nation.

Description

About the Author

Elizabeth Pisani first turned her interest to Indonesia as a correspondent for Reuters and The Economist from 1988 to 1991. Then she studied epidemiology and returned to work with Indonesia’s Ministry of Health from 2001 to 2005, researching HIV among sex workers, drug injectors, and gay men in the country’s major cities. Her other book, The Wisdom of Whores (2008) draws on that experience.
